yeah you are right
do you see any reason of why is listed d /usr/share/guest-configuration 2755 root root - -
in the tmpfiles.d/guest.conf? as i understand, it is just in case the folder doesn't exist so it creates it, right? should i remove the line?
although thats also true but its very rare case. you would just want an functional guest same as any other user. with all themes and config done
there is one problem though, the guest config files folder may not be desireable to be copied to any new user...
Whatever, i think most people would prefer it, anyone who doesn't want it can change the install files
because it is better to have just one Directory where config files are stored. as all the configs stored in /etc/skel gets copied to /home/$USER when new user is created.
this is what i love the most from arch, everyday i can learn a new thing
why skel? i was about to use /etc/guest-configuration
can you consider changing the config directory from
/usr/share/guest-configuration
to /etc/skel/
add git as makedepend

Installing the package gets your system ready to use the guest user, which is basically a normal user with a tmpfs home folder (which gets erased after every reboot, not after a logout), but please notice two things:
You probably want to add the guest user to some system groups you may consider in order to be able to use some resources of your computer, the same way as any other human user
The script copies any file placed in the /etc/skel/ folder to the guest home after every reboot, intended mainly for copying config files you may consider useful to copy in every new guest session, for example if you need special graphical or network config files placed in order to get a properly working guest user. Any suggestion is welcomed
